“I might have been willing to cover the entire pool, which would have been a huge pergola; but Tyler said, ‘Why don’t we start with one section and see how you like it? You can always build more.’

They built it in a way that we could do a second phase if we wanted. They weren’t really pushy. It was clear that he was just trying to help me meet our goals.” – Sarah Burton – UT

Another unique feature that we include with every timber pergola kit is drop-in rafter layouts. There are two main benefits of the drop-in rafter layout. The first is ease of installation. Because the timber beam that supports the rafters is already marked and slotted, you don’t have to measure anything or try to figure the proper spacing of your rafters. However, the primary benefit of the drop-in rafter layout is that it helps prevent warping and twisting of the rafters year after year. The hard work is done for you by our experienced craftsman.

Quick Start – FAQ

We build a tremendous variety of kits. Kit sizes range from 8′ x 8′ up to 20′ x 20′ +. Your kit can be square, a rectangle, or even round. Our architects design and ensure that your kit is engineered properly.

If you want a kit with a 30′ beam span, we can make it work.

If you want a custom terraced kit, and multiple decks, we can make it happen.

If you want to build a timber kit that has never built before, we will help you.

Share your ideas with us and watch them blossom. We will make your dreams a reality! Whether your kit is simple or extremely complex, your experience working with us will be easy and straightforward.

When you contact us, you will find that we are upfront and open with our pricing. Your Design Manager will ask you a few simple questions to determine the scope of your project and budget, and then he will give you a quick no obligation quote in as little as 20 minutes.

We are consistently hundreds to even thousands of dollars lower than comparable size and quality of kits. For the quality of our kits, you will be hard-pressed to find a better overall value, as affirmed by our 5-star customer reviews on all third party review sites. Learn more about our pricing.

We will build and ship your kit anywhere in the Continental United States or Canada. All timber pergola kits are build to order, and they typically take 1-2 weeks to build after you approve your final design. Afterwards, we ship your kit via freight carrier directly to you. Shipping typically takes 4-7 days.

We don’t sell cookie cutter kits that you can buy in your average big box store. All of our kits are custom built to match your projects requirements and to fit your back yard. We call our pergolas and pavilions a kit, because they are shipped to your door ready to assemble. But due to the heavy timbers, and their custom nature they will not look like a kit. Your pergola will be an outstanding hand crafted addition to your backyard.

Your Design Manager will make sure your outdoor living needs are met. Your Design Manager will spearhead your project and ensure that it is aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound. They will make sure that the design is within your budget and time constraints.

Your Design Manager can also work to create a 3D rendering of your project before production. No guess work; you will know exactly what your backyard resort will look like before it is created. They will guide you step-by-step from design, measuring your yard, and getting your kit built and shipped.

ShadeScape® Kit Pricing

We don’t have prices to list on our kits because each kit is custom designed and manufactured to your specific needs, and fluctuates seasonally depending on material supply and a few other factors. That said, we are consistently hundreds to even thousands of dollars lower than comparable size and quality of kits, which is just one of the many reasons why we are the #1 pergola and pavilion kit manufacturer in the United States and Canada.

This isn’t a way to keep pricing from our customers (as testament to our across the board 5-star customer reviews on all third party review sites). It’s actually how we are aggressive in our pricing and what we offer. We constantly adjust our prices relative to the cost of timber to keep our prices competitive relative to the material costs. We don’t offer cookie cutter kits in a few set sizes. We actually don’t keep any actual “kits” in stock because each kit is a custom creation offered at a kit price.

Instead, what we do is have you work with a Design Manager who can give you a quote in less than 20 minutes. Our Design Managers work with you to determine what your needs are for your unique situation. They’re experts in outdoor living environments. They work for you to help you create a truly personal outdoor living space based on your needs. They’ll listen to you, and in turn ask you questions to help you create a truly inviting outdoor living environment that fits your needs and your budget. This whole process usually takes less than 20 minutes. At this point they can give you current pricing based on your needs relative to current material costs.

At this point, you will have current pricing based on your project requirements. Then, when you move forward with your project, your Design Manager will work with our team of in House Architects to create a 3D rendering of your outdoor living space.

We offer this as part of every purchase so that you can see a 3D rendering (see attached images) of your project before it’s even built. This is just one of the ways we help you create a beautiful and functional outdoor living space, rather than just toss up a low quality pergola kit. There are Landscaping Firms that charge hundreds, or even thousands of dollars just for the service and time of creating a visual 3D representation of your project. We not only offer this to you as a free service, but we also give you the expertise of a professional Design Manager to assist you along the way.
